Resident watching in Mill Creek from South reports: “It’s blowing up right now. BIG Column”
She is starting to show some heat again, this is from 130 pm.
NWS Bay Area also issued this information:
The afternoon and evening hours are often known as the “witching hour” on many fires. In Big Sur the fires can roar all night above the marine layer where dry and warm conditions persist.
